In a certain vacuum tube, electrons evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow, steady rate and accelerate from
rest through a potential difference of 45.0 V. Then they travel 28.0 cm as they pass through an array of slits
and fall on a screen to produce an interference pattern. If the beam current is below a certain value, only
one electron at a time will be in flight in the tube. In this situation, the interference pattern still appears,
showing that each individual electron can interfere with itself. What is the maximum value for the beam
current that will result in only one electron at a time in flight in the tube?

This light reflects normally off an object that reflects 90 percent of the incident energy. How long does it take this laser to give the surface a momentum of 0.005 kgm/s
If the rms electric field inside the beam is 1600 v/m, what is the radius of the beam?

- Port-wine birthmarks, which are caused by malformed capillaries close to the skin, can be removed with laser pulses. Laser light of the right color will pass through the skin with little absorption but will be strongly absorbed by oxyhemoglobin in the blood of these capillaries, which destroys them withoutdamaging adjacent tissue.

She wants to demonstrate to her students the buildup of the interference pattern for single electrons passing through a double slit, as shown. Her source of electrons will be a certain vacuum tube, in which electrons evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow, steady rate and accelerate from rest through a potential difference of 45.0 V. After being accelerated, they travel through a fieldfree and evacuated region before they pass through the double slits and fall on a screen to produce an interference pattern. To ensure that only one electron at a time is passing through the slits, she wants the electrons to be separated in space by d = 1.00 cm (perpendicular to the barrier containing the slits) as they approach the slit. She asks you todetermine the maximum value for the beam current that will assure that only one electron at a time passes through the slits.arrow_forwardA limitation on how many spectra per second can be recorded by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer is the time it takes the slowest ion to go from the source to the detector.

How long would it take to drift 2.00 m through a spectrometer? At what frequency could you record spectra if a new extraction cycle were begun each time the heaviest ion reached the detector? What would be the frequency if you wanted to scan up to m/z 1000?arrow_forward

If you place another conducting surface in a position at which it can catch these electrons, and connect these two conductors by another conductor such as a wire, you can generate a so-called photoelectric current. Suppose the work function of a particular metal is 4.8 x 10-19 J. If light can impart an energy of 14.4 x 10-19 J to each electron, what must be the potential difference of the two conducting surfaces in order to stop a photoelectric current? Which conducting surface should be at the higher potential?arrow_forward
